I think wren is just like magnet or howdens. It’s all basically egger chipboard boxes Blum hardware and then a choice of doors.
ikea cabs are better quality than people think - the edge banding is more robust and still Blum hinges etc.
The reason builders generally don’t like ikea is:
A - supply - they have to go get it or delivery can be unreliable
B - price - they can’t do a cheeky deal with their mate at howdens/magnet etc
C - Euro sizing - ikea has no service void at the rear so you can’t feed pipes along walls behind. Also ikea plinth is 90 whereas uk is 150(ish) - this can fuck up integrated appliances if you don’t want ikea ones - particularly dishwashers.

who do you get to fit Ikea kitchens? Do ikea still do fittings, are they any good?
Mate had a wren kitchen fitted - looked decent, still cost 12k all in once electrics, plumbing and fitting was done.
Whats the forum opinion of wren?
